The Burning Lands

Hardy beasts of burden common across Shurima, skallashi are ideally suited to the harsh desert environment. Notoriously bad-tempered, they are nevertheless treated with great reverence, their hides often painted with sacred symbols of protection, and their horns hung with totems and charms. To own one is often considered a sign of considerable prosperity."

Some shurimans choose to live their nomadic existence atop giant, slow-moving creatures known as dormun. Protected by large chitinous plates, dormun evolved to survive the perpetual drought and harsh conditions of Shurima. The dormun-riders clean the creature and hunt any airborne pests who venture near, while the dormun uses unknown senses to located hidden reservoirs of water."

Dormun-riders use claw grips to traverse the complex series of ropes that connect the mobile village's dwellings. Once a rider becomes too old or infirm to “run the ropes”, they are lowered to the ground to live out the rest of their days as a land-dweller."

"ENDLESS PLAIN
RYZE: THE BURNING LANDS
Stretching out for hundreds of miles, the Endless Plain is a desolate wasteland that has claimed countless lives over the centuries. Few who attempt to cross it are ever seen again—if the relentless, burning heat and lack of water doesn’t kill them, the predators and savage raiders that emerge under the cover of darkness likely will."

This once thriving, beautiful city was destroyed during the apocalyptic Rune Wars. It is said that the entire population was annihilated in one terrible night, the city utterly leveled… and all that remains now lies in ruin."

The shifting tides of the desert has been known to carve paths through bare rock, tumbling over the cliff faces in massive sandfalls. Traditionally, Shurimans toss beloved objects into the sands as gifts to the Ascended. As a result, such falls are often lucrative spots for treasure hunters."

Some Shuriman cities fell into darkness after the collapse of the empire, swallowed whole by catastrophic earthquakes and that split the land. Even so, it is whispered that there were survivors, and their devolved descendants may still live beneath the surface—surely, now more cannibalistic monsters than human."

From the Ashes

Three locations from From the Ashes short story featuring Ryze and Kegan were added:

Together, Ryze and his young student Kegan Rodhe traveled the wilderness of the Freljord. The young man wanted to better understand the mysteries of the world, and his place within it—the older mage perhaps sought nothing more than a companion to share his secret burden."

For countless generations, merchants and traders would gather here throughout the winter months, before venturing into the icy north."
